Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Copiague Library at none against BookPlayer's 15. Copiague Library also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). BookPlayer's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 24) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
